Chapter 575: Tumut Dominates the Prairie
At present, in the internal forces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is actually complicated, and Dolgon can only play the effect of weighing and restricting at most, but he cannot monopolize the power as Wang Zheng.
Because in addition to him, the power of Zuo Regent Daishan, as well as Zilharang, Prince Su Haoge and others was still very strong, and Dolgon wanted to control the balance of power within the Manchu Qing on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to subdue Mongolia and Korea.
The banners of the Han army and the Mongolian flags are the main forces of the battle, and to put it bluntly, they are cannon fodder troops similar to the Da Shunliu private forces.
The banner people of the Han army have been attached to the Jurchen for many years, thinking that they are banner people, one level higher than the Ahabs, and they have always had their nostrils facing the sky, since Kong Youde and Azig died together in Songshan, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming and others have formed their own system, and their power has risen sharply.
It can be said that the main force guarding the internal chassis of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is precisely these loyal minions.
If there were internal changes in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, or if the Eight Banners Army no longer had enough strength to suppress them, they would definitely rise again and stand on their own.
The banners of the Han army are all grass on the wall, and at that time, whether they will be dead set on the Manchu Qing Dynasty are all considered by Wang Zheng now.
For the Nanjing court, as long as the troops were sent to show that they would not tolerate it, it was enough to make Dolgon jealous of entering the Central Plains, and the rest was to delay time.
Wang Zheng understood that what Dolgon lacked was time, and what he had was time.
Dolgon, Fan Wencheng, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and other major generals of the Eight Banners of the Han Army were discussing a solution, but suddenly they heard a "clang" sound from outside the door, and several Bayala guards wearing silver and white iron armor broke in recklessly.
In the past, when Dolgon was deliberating, even some princes and ministers did not dare to trespass, but today, the guards of his cronies did not know the etiquette so much, Dolgon's face sank and he felt that he had lost face.
However, he didn't directly reprimand, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the Zhenghongqi Taiji who walked in at the end, this person Dolgon knew, and belonged to the left regent Daishan who stayed in Shengjing.
It's just that why did he come so far, could it be that something was wrong with Sheng Jing?
The Bayala guard of the white flag did not speak, but the Zhenghong flag Taiji knelt down with a "poof" and said in a very critical tone:
"Lord Wang!! A Ming army landed at the mouth of the Liao River, and the sailors we sent have been defeated, according to the reports of the Ahabs who fled back, the land and water strength of this Ming army must be at least 100,000 people. Let's come back!! ”
The first half of the sentence made Dolgon a little confused, but when he heard the back, he suddenly got up from his seat, and even the big chimney fell to the ground unconsciously, and said viciously:
"The Mongolian Korling tribe guards the north of Shengjing, and the Tumut tribes are not far away, didn't they send people to Shengjing!?
"Back to the prince's words, the left regent sent someone to find Tumut and Kole, but... The Tumut tribe killed the envoy and suddenly attacked the Kol Ling department, and now the Kol Ling has been scattered and moved north, and there is no longer the ability to return to Shengjing..."Speaking of this, Na Tai Ji shouted with a crying voice:
"Korlingtu Khan was hanged by one of the leaders of the Korling tribe, and Tumut took the opportunity to annex several small tribes such as Hashen and Kolai, which originally belonged to our Qing Dynasty... Now on the grassland, it's already a scuffle! ”
Korling's Tuhan is Dolgon's father-in-law, Korling's troops have followed the Eight Banners Army for many years, and they are also the most loyal to the Jurchen steppe tribe, and Dolgon has been deliberately cultivating Korling.
Due to the support of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Korling gradually became stronger, occupying a large area of horse pastures in the south of the steppe, which was always unruly, and Tumert and many tribes dared not speak out, and now these things have happened, and Dolgon has actually thought about it.
But what he didn't expect was that Cole Ling was so useless, and he had been supporting him for so long, and he was broken up by Tumut, who was much weaker than them.
The reason why Dorgon had been entrusted with the important task of defending the northern part of Shengjing was that there would be a reliable person to help him in the event of Hetuala.
As for the sailors, the Qing army has never paid much attention to it, but it is only symbolic that it is dispensable, and it is reasonable to be defeated by the Ming army all at once.
Up to now, Dolgon knew that the Ming army that landed on the shore was very likely to be the Qi army of Wang Zheng, but the means of preparation failed one after another, and he couldn't think of any solution for a while, and he became irritable after all.
Suddenly, Dolgon rushed down the stairs in a rage, kicked over the red flag Taiji, and tried to rebuke him angrily, but found that he did not know what to say.
In the end, he just sat back in his chair weakly.
At this time, it was Fan Wencheng who opened his mouth first:
"If the minister is not mistaken, Tumut was defeated by the cavalry of my Great Qing Dynasty in both the Tiancong year and the Chongde year, and he has been following the army for many years and has nothing to say, how could he suddenly defeat the Kol Ling Division?"
Hearing this, Dorgon also felt that something was wrong, and asked:
"That's right, the Korling Department has left at least 30,000 cavalry, and these minions of Tumut and Korling must not want to help Shengjing, and they have made up nonsense to deceive the king!"
As soon as the words fell, the red flag Taiji climbed up from the ground and kowtowed regardless of it:
"Lord Wang!! Don't forget, although Lin Dan Khan is dead, there is still an Ezhe in the Chahar Department. ”
"Tumut killed our capital in Chahar, controlled Ezhe, and used his name to convene the Northern Five Divisions, so he was able to defeat Kol Ling in one fell swoop, every sentence is true, the prince... Let's go back to Shengjing, it's too late!! ”
Now, Dolgon also had to believe in the authenticity of this news, his face twitched a few times, he took a deep breath to ease his mind, and slapped it on the table:
"Humph! The minions of Tumut really ate the bear-hearted leopard guts, how dare they have the guts to make trouble! ”
"Pass on the king's order, quickly call Prince Su, Dorobelle and a few of them to the big tent to discuss matters, this matter must be tightly sealed!"
At this time, Dolgon no longer had the style of Corporal Lixian in the past, so he didn't even look at it, and walked straight past Fan Wencheng and them with his back hand, and he should have gone straight to the big tent.
This incident came suddenly, even Dolgon was a little caught off guard, for Wang Zheng, this was not only the effect of butterfly wings, but also an unexpected gift-given opportunity.
After hearing the news that the Qi army had landed at the mouth of the Liaohe River and went straight to Shengjing, the Tumut tribe, who had always complained about the Jurchens, felt that the opportunity for revenge had reached Ali, and immediately gave up their allegiance to the Manchus.
The ambitious Tumut Khan immediately sent troops to control Ezhe, beheaded the Jurchen capital left in Chahar, which was considered a complete rupture, and then began to attack the Kol tribe on the steppe, which was most loyal to the Manchus.
First, the crackdown on Koerling can set up WeChat on the grassland, and second, it can occupy a large area of pastures with abundant water and grass in the southern part of the grassland, and Tumut's subordinates have been coveting it for a long time.
Ezhe is a very important person, he is the prince of the last orthodox khan of the steppe, Lin Dan Khan, the inheritor of the golden family, to the Mongol tribes, it is the same as the orthodox court of the Han people in the Central Plains today.
Tumut controlled Ezhe, convened the alliance of the tribes, and defeated the Kol Ling tribe that submitted to the Jurchens, and the Kor Lingtu Khan died, so he split and moved north, and Tumut Xiong occupied the southern part of the steppe, and his power rose sharply, which can be said to directly threaten the empty Shengjing and Liaodong.
If Tumut and the Qi army reach a consensus, for the current situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is very likely that it will become the beginning of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species.
